Windows File Structure (DOS)

Contrary to some beliefs, DOS is still alive and well, living in the Windows environment. The purpose of this section is to help you make a local environment for building your webpage.

When you see a web site being constructed, it usually goes from nothing to complete in minutes. It is doubtful that anyone can program that fast. It makes more sense to build it and test it on your local machine before you expose it to the world.

A directory (or folder) is a location for files. It is a more organized way of storing files and keeping things separated on your hard disk.
